A year ago Delta Air Lines announced severe changes to its SkyMiles elite program and for access to its Sky Clubs. Employees are talking about bringing back planned changes.
The A350’s right wingtip made contact with the CRJ-900’s T-tail while both aircraft were maneuvering on adjacent taxiways. The impact was severe enough to slice off the vertical and horizontal stabilizers of the CRJ-900. Photos and videos from the scene showed the regional jet’s tail hanging from the fuselage, while the A350 sustained damage to its wingtip.
Two women flying Delta from Los Angeles to San Francisco had a meltdown on Monday after missing their plane. They arrived at the LAX gate, only to find a gate agent closing the door.
One yells, “He just slammed the door on my sister’s arm. This is racism!” And her sister joins in, “this is racism!”
Friday night’s Delta flight 112 Boston to Rome appears to have turned back over the Atlantic two hours after departure, diverting to New York, when a passenger reportedly had “severe bouts of diarrhea all over” their seat.
A Delta Air Lines passenger was kicked off of a flight leaving Sarasota, Florida because of their Donald Trump t-shirt.
Airline staff informed the man that he would need to change his shirt if he wanted to fly. He turned it inside out so that the image wasn’t visible, then boarded the aircraft.

It was about 1 a.m. when he is said to have walked up to an elderly female passenger, exposed himself, and urinated on her for approximately 20 seconds. Flight attendants tried to intervene but he became aggressive – and reports are that he struck an elderly man with his right hand – before collapsing into a different seat.
The woman said to the crewmember that she “went to college with” Delta CEO Ed Bastian. The Delta flight attendant snapped back, “you should have kept in touch” then! I guess they weren’t that close. Attempted ‘don’t you know who I am’ failed.
Equally frustrating to late departures – or maybe even more problematic – is departing early. It’s the Goldie Locks problem. You plan on the basis of the airline’s schedule, and departing early means you have less time than you though to make it to the airport and through security. You may miss your flight!
